Overview: Winter wonderland is the best way to describe the valley this time of year. Bitterroot winters are usually mild, earning the valley the nickname 'Banana Belt of Montana'. While snow seldom accumulates more than 6 inches on the valley floor, the annual average at Lost Trail Ski Resort is 300 inches of pristine powder, making this a paradise for skiers. Billions of stars, meteor showers and rare display of Northern Lights, adorn the deep, black night skies. |
